EFI Boot Fix - doesn't help

ZAJDAN — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 11:03:46 GMT

Hello,

I have the known problem where a tablet boots into efi shell. So I try to use EFI Boot Fix .

Flash drive is formated as fat32, EFI Bott Fix files are placed on the flash drive. I connect the FlashDrive via OTG to tablet and powerOn the tablet.

The result is, that tablet doesn't start Android OS and again do the same problem. I captured a screenshot from the tablet durring the fixing process.

Thanks for any hints

May be try with a smaller USB-Stick (512 MB or 1 GB), and / or try Fat 16, although Fat 32 did work with other machines.

ok....I destroyed partition on the USB Flash stick (6GB) and created there just one 512MB as FAT16,

placed there the boot fix files and again repeat the process...result is same as before.

Do You think, that the USB Flash stick have to be physical size max 1GB ?

thnx Regards ZAJDAN

Ok, try it with a small Fat 32 - Partition also. Maybe the 6 GB-Stick-Controller isn't compatible. I have no idea.

As I said, I woud try with a smaller Stick max. 4 Gb, and test it again with Fat 32;

Friend borrowed me old USB Stick 512MB. I tried it with FAT16 and also with FAT32 ->result--->same problem presists 😞

Seems, that EFI is broken.

I disconnected the USB and boot into efi shell to try display internal volume

Shell>vol vol: 'NULL' is not mapped

it doesn't looks nice

@ZAJDAN

You should ask a Mod, @TheDoctor or @Luke; I can not help you with your problem.

Regards, daddle

Edit: They should also read the flash-history for the recovery-package

Ich bin etwas überfragt. Welches Gerät ist es denn überhaupt? Liegen die Dateien an der richtigen Stelle?

Stick ist halbwegs unkritisch. Sollte nur möglichst einfach partitioniert (ideal: 1 primäre Partition) und formatiert (VFAT) sein.

@TheDoctor

Infos und Nachtrag zur Vorgeschichte: -> http://community.medion.com/t5/Tablet/ANDROID-RECOVERY-PAKET/m-p/41977#U41977

Dass er die Dateien bootorder.bin und startup.nsh nach dem Entpacken in das Wurzelverzeichnis kopiert habe ich angenommen.

Gruss, daddle

Hast Du den Stick mit einem USB-Host-Adapter, auch OTG-(On the Go)-Adapter genannt angeschlossen? War ein solcher bei dem Tab mitgeliefert?

Gruss, daddle

@daddle
I am not sure if I understand You correctly (german language I translate via translator), but Yes I use OTG reduction with three different USB sticks(512MB, 6GB, 8GB) all formated as FAT

do You think will be good to try use USB HUB?

tablet->OTG->USB HUB->USB Stick

Re: EFI Boot Fix - doesn't help

daddle — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 16:56:53 GMT

No, not seriously. Did you use an USB-hub flashing the recovery-package?

Re: EFI Boot Fix - doesn't help

ZAJDAN — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 17:06:43 GMT

@daddle
Not, everytime it was connected via OTG reduction, about the hub it was just idea if it will helps.

@ZAJDAN

Here in your flash failure-protocol it says "error":

error: cannot load '/efilinux-.efi': No such file or directory

I think the error text should be:
error: cannot load '/efilinux-user.efi': No such file or directory

That is maybe the reason für your bootorder-error; the efilinux-user.efi file was never found nor flashed, because the flash.sh looks instead for the "/efilinux-user .efi" for the "/efilinux- .efi" ?

The flash.sh says:

"./fastboot flash osloader $OUT/efilinux-$TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT.efi"

Did you mess around with the " $OUT/efilinux-$TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT.efi" line, and gave this the possible wrong error-text? Or is the efilinux-path wrongly written??

(Although later on the esp.zip is flashed, which also contains the identical files in Boot/ bootx64.efi and in /Intel/efilinux.efi; but do not know if bin the same position.

May be @TheDoctor could check this

@daddle

if You will read mentioned thread completely, You will see, that I solved this problem about load necessary files.

in the script is something wrong with variable $OUT

I could also try windows version 😞

Re: EFI Boot Fix - doesn't help

daddle — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 18:20:02 GMT

Off course I read. Otherwise I couldn't have noticed the missing "user" in error-text:

"error: cannot load '/efilinux-.efi': No such file or directory"

The $TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT isn't replaced by "user" in error. Should it be?

Like I said in the beginning, I do not know much about Linux or Android.

May be by replacing standard $OUT with your long path-name (too long?) you made an error or typo?

And yes, reflashing the recovery-package in Windows you should try; but for safety reason make a new download before.

ZAJDAN — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 18:00:02 GMT

when I replace the $OUT everywhere where the variable is , with my absolute path /home/zajdan/Downloads/medion-p7332/

the mentioned files are loaded without error

I tried recovery package also from windows, but during process stage 2 each step ends with status FAILED
